Septic System planning

5 Simple Steps

Start with measuring 2 quarts of water and pouring it into the pot, which is kept on a stove. Switch on the electric or gas stove and let the stove’s content reach its rolling boiling point. After you see the water getting boiled, turn off the stove.

Add three cups of sugar into the boiling water. Keep stirring the sugar with a stirrer or a wood spoon till you see the sugar completely getting dissolved in the water. Now, allow the water to cool down to room temperature so that you can easily deal with it without actually burning yourself. Now measure three cups of corn meal and then start adding it into the water, which is mixed with sugar, very slowly. While adding, keep whisking it so that there is no clumping of corn meal in the mixture. Keep whisking until you see that all the corn meal you have poured in has completely mixed with the sugar water.

To this mixture of sugar, corn meal and water now add 5 packs of the dry yeast and start stirring gently. Now you can pour the newly formed mixture into one of your toilets and then flush the toilet. Now wait till the water fills back again in the toilet tank and use the flush again for the second time.

After this, don’t use the toilet for good ten to twelve hours in order to get the most benefit out of this procedure. Adding this septic treatment can be done right before you hit the bed in the night or leave for work in the morning.

Now start following your regular schedule of pumping your toilet. This septic treatment doesn’t obstruct the regular pumping routine.
